if it only could be like this every day. 70, a light breeze, peaceful and calm.
so, i know baseball season is getting close, mostly because the Yankees are already beset with injuries. fuck me.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole
if it only could be like this every day. 70, a light breeze, peaceful and calm.
so, i know baseball season is getting close, mostly because the Yankees are already beset with injuries. fuck me.
so, i had an interesting conversation with my sister this morning. she sent me a May the 4th Be With You text this morning and i replied that i am going to need the force since i am running on less than 3 hours of sleep. she said she couldn't function if she had that little of sleep. i told her i have had over 30 years of experience of running on fumes. she then said she guesses she will be cremating mom and i on the same day. that made me howl and i told her, not likely. what i wanted to type was i will make sure to say something nice about her at her funeral. but i didn't.
the reason i had less than 3 hours of sleep was twofold. first, the New York Rangers game last night went into 3 overtimes. that meant i was watching the other shit i had to watch last night much, much later than i was expecting. and secondly, my mother had one of those screams last night at 4:52 AM that you only hear in horror movies. i rushed into her room and said what's wrong. she told me to turn on the lights and swore she saw a person in her room getting ready to kill her. she admitted to me this morning that she has been seeing ghosts for the last two weeks. well fuck me. so yeah, i didn't sleep much after that.
the New York Rangers played a great first period last night. and then, for some fucking reason, they reverted back to trying to make everything cute and perfect. so, they pissed away a 2 goal lead last night. of course, the refs played a much larger role in the game than they ever should have. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd, but since the refs and the league are stuck on the Penguins dick forever, the goal did not stand. and of course, the Penguins scored in the 3rd overtime to win, 4-3. Igor stopped an amazing 79 of 83 shots yesterday for the Rangers. i'm not saying that Thursday is a MUST WIN for the Rangers, but it might as well be. i'm just hoping the game 1 loss doesn't scar the players as much as i know it does to us fans. i have a horror list of losses by the Rangers in multiple overtimes that if i let it, will keep me up for days as they replay in my mind.
so, my mother is allergic to latex. she wanted me to find some latex free band-aids for her face. i went to 5 different places today. none of them had any that would work for her. so, i told her that Amazon Prime is going to be her best bet. we really don't have anything in the house that would work for her either.
it fucking poured last night. rained enough to make sure my arthritis was going to be awake all night long. i guess i have finally figured out how to sleep in pain. that should extend my life by a few days i suppose.
so the new edition of NXT went pretty good last night. plenty of new faces, but i don't mind that. i love Tommaso Ciampa as the new champion, it sucks that Samoa Joe had to give up the title because of injury, but it is nice to see Goldie back where she belongs.
i had to stick myself 4 damn times to get enough blood to take my blood sugar this morning. i should have known it was going to be one of those days.
that being said, i did manage to find some football cards today. i got 2 Fairfield boxes at Rite-Aid. it cost me $10 total. i think i got around $25 out of both boxes. that works for me. so yeah, if anyone is interested in some football cards, let me know what you need. everything is priced to go.
the grocery stores weren't too bad today. i could have gone without my back pain while at Kroger or the long fucking lines because they don't want too many people working.
